歌词
I know a man
曾经有这么一个人
He's a powerful man
他有着至高的权利
He's got the people in his power in the palm of his hand
他的手中掌控着无数人的命运
He started at the bottom and he worked his way up
他从社会低端起步却不停向上
Now he's never going to stop until he reaches the top
在抵达山顶之前永不言弃
[01:40.64][03:21.01]It's the same old story
这是一个被重复了无数遍的老故事
it's the same old dream
这是一个被追求了无数次的旧梦想
It's power man, power man, and all that it can bring
是他带来了这一切
If you want your money, you better stand in the line
如果以渴望钱财，你最好站在这些努力向上的人的行列中
'Cos you'll only end up picking up nickels and dimes
不然你只能以乞讨为生
You call him names and he sits and grins
你叫住了那个伟人他却笑了
'cos everybody else is just a sucker to him.
因为别人对他而言都不足为道
And he's got my money, but I've got my faith
他得到了他的钱财，我却有了我的信仰
Powerman, powerman, I'll never be your slave
即便你是伟人，我也不会是你的奴隶
[03:27.61]It's the same old game
还是那个故事
Power man, power man, driving me insane
还是那个梦想
People tried to conquer the world napoleon and genghis khan
让我逐渐疯狂
Hitler tried and mussolini too
人类都想像拿破仑和成吉思汗那样征服世界
Powerman don't need to fight, powerman don't need no guns
如同穆斯林和希特勒那样不停尝试
Powerman got money on his side
他却不用战斗，也不用枪支
Well I'm not rich and I'm not free
金钱站在你的一边
But I've got my girl and she got me
也许我很贫穷也不自由
He's got my money and my publishing rights
但我心爱的女孩站在我的身边
But I've got my girl and I'm alright
你夺走了我的钱财以及权利
And she got me going,
但只要我的心上人和我相依相守我便会接着努力
and she keeps me sane
她鼓励着我前行
But powerman, powerman, got money on the brain
她让我保持理智
Powerman, powerman driving me insane
然而那个伟人却已钱迷心窍
